Só vemos promessas de um futuro que não passa de ilusão

E a esperança do povo vem da humildade de seus corações,
And the hope of the people comes from the humility of their hearts,
Que jogam suas vidas seu destino nas garras de famintos leões
Who stake their lives their fate in the jaws of hungry lions
Deixa o menino jogar ô iaiá
Let the boy play oh iaiá
Deixa o menino jogar ô iaiá (ô iaiá)
Let the boy play ô iaiá (ô iaiá)
Deixa o menino aprender ô iaiá

Que a saúde do povo daqui

O valor de um amor não se pode comprar

Onde estará a fonte que esconde a vida

Quando chegou em casa e num canto escuro encontrou
When he got home and in a dark corner he found
A sua princesa e o moleque fruto desse amor

Chorando de fome sem saber que o escravizou
Crying with hunger without knowing who enslaved him
